Abstract:
In this paper, we present a computer simulation program for a linear polymer. The software use the Random-Walk method on a tri-dimensional cubic lattice for a non self-avoiding linear chain. The simulations were performed for a macromolecule with a number of chain segments variable from 10 and 100. For each polymer, were made 1,000,000 Randow Walk-type generations and at the end of each of we determined the end to end square distance and radius of gyration. The results of the simulations are in very good agreement with theoretical predictions for a gaussian chain.
